BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Empire Interactive, an international publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software and a subsidiary of Silverstar Holdings, Ltd (Nasdaq:SSTR), shipped the critically acclaimed title FlatOut Ultimate Carnage for PC.
While simulation racers have traditionally found their home on PCs, FlatOut Ultimate Carnage blurs the line between arcade and simulation. PC gamers can have a "deathproof" experience with carnage gameplay modes and enhanced graphics that rival the Xbox 360 version. Multiplayer online provides wheel-to-wheel action as opponents try to fishtail other cars and get across the finish line in a "no holds barred" extreme driving smash fest.
Media highlights include:
* "The most fun you can have in a car without stealing a Ferrari." -- Total PC Gaming -- Score: 9/10 * "One of the better PC racers." -- The Guardian -- Score: 4/5 * "FlatOut's major selling point is its OTT physics in the environments, that add to the excitement during races as you career into exploding petrol stations" -- PC Zone -- Score: 81% * "Mad racing game!" -- talkSPORT -- Score 4/5 * "FlatOut Ultimate Carnage is absolutely nuts" -- VG-Reloaded (Online) -- Score: 8.3/10 * "The console racing hit makes it to the PC.
